Still Looking for Others Interested in Becoming Ambassadors
Ever since Jocelyn and I started Networlding ten years ago we have shared the story of our start where we became #10 on Amazon, in Chicago, and held that spot for an entire year. What a lot of people don't know though is how we accomplished that success and what it could mean for you and your success, but we'll tell you so you can use the idea.
We were members of the Chicagoland Chamber. They provided us with the space we needed to host full-day bootcamps where people could go through the seven steps of Networlding. We offered those interested from the chamber and from Fast Company an option: either they could pay $350 for the full-day event and we would include the Networlding book and guidebook or they could buy the books on Amazon and pay a very reduced fee. The majority of people bought the books and within a year more than 1000 professionals and business owners came through the bootcamps.
We also found that many stayed connected to their circle partners and are still good friends, colleagues and even business partners. Now we are back in full swing again and looking for people to start circles again through one of our certified facilitators or through ambassadors. If you are interested in becoming a Networlding Ambassador here are the steps:
1. Purchase the Nano-Second Networlding book by going to http://budurl.com/NanoNetworldersBook.
2. Purchase the Networlding Facilitators Guide here - http://budurl.com/NetworldingFacGuide
and the Networlding Participants Guide - http://budurl.com/NetworldingPartGuide
3. Set up a group date. I will help you get started.and promote it with you.
Use tools like LinkedIn, MeetUp, even Twitter to gather a group.
Read the Nano book and then start the Networlding Guidebook with your group.
4. Set up a time to bring me into your circle by phone. I will share my twenty-plus years of wisdom helping people achieve transformational opportunities through Networlding.
5. Once you go through a circle experience have participants start their own circles but continue to reconnect with your starter circle to share wisdom and great connections.
6. Finally, email me (melissa@networlding.com) with your success stories. I would love to showcase you and your success!
The Networlding Guidebook is designed as a companion to Networlding. While the first book provided an introduction to the overall concepts and practices of Networlding the guidebook helps you put Networlding into action quickly. It has checklists, questions and exercises to help you assess where you are in terms of network success and the goals you hope to achieve through the implementation of Networlding, as well as monthly action plans to roll out the process, The Networlding Guidebook is a fun, practical and easy-to-understand resource that helps you transform relationships into mutually beneficial opportunities.
The Nano Networlders Book. It Only Takes a Second to Change Your Life Forever. Do you wish to surround yourself with people of like-minded values but struggle to find them? Are you experiencing a variety of 'takers' in your life, and spending all your energies defending yourself or your department or your company? The Nanosecond Networlders show us that there are compelling new solutions to some of the most vexing cross-cultural, career, and organizational business issues we face today.
These solutions recognize that every decision is made in a split-second, and that although we often deliberate for months, the moment of commitment is the moment that counts. Making that commitment in a way that is firmly rooted in recognized individual core values is the key. No one can remove those barriers alone. This book shows us how to participate in an 'exchange' of ideas, values, and solutions to break through to our true potential-by leveraging the limitless possibilities inherent in every conversation we have.
